Every human being has the right to medical care no matter their origin. Therefore the German Doctors perform voluntary medical missions in developing countries and help where poverty is part of everyday life.

Many people in the whole world live under worse conditions than we do. Their everyday lives are often plagued by diseases due to a lack of medical care. Our doctors perform voluntary 6-week missions from the Philippines to Bangladesh, India, Kenya and Sierra Leone to help these people during their annual holidays or after retirement. Without the doctors who voluntarily support us, this wouldn’t be possible.

The German Doctors is a medical aid organization which is active worldwide. Since every individual has a right to medical care, we provide healthcare in our projects. Whether people infected with HIV, undernourished children deficiency syndromes or people with chronic diseases, the German Doctors help everyone who needs help worldwide and voluntarily. It is our heartfelt desire to sustainably improve the local situations. We provide lasting help, for example with preventive measures, like training in hygiene or specialist training for indigenous health workers.

Our doctors have been carrying out medical missions for over 30 years and have helped innumerable individuals all over the world. But we depend on your donations to carry out this work. Every dollar or euro helps us help others. Your donation enables our doctors to care for the needy where they live. It finances the required medicines, feeding programs for undernourished children, and training of medical specialists in our project areas. It is easy to make a meaningful donation, with an online donation, a project partnership or by requesting a donation to us instead of a gift. There are many ways to support our doctors in their worldwide missions. The German Doctors are grateful for your help!

We believe in the right of every human being to get medical care no matter their origin.

Our doctors work during their annual leave or retirement for a period of six weeks and waive any compensation. More than 7000 missions with more than 3200 doctors were completed since 1983.
